Just a note that although her status shows "Dead", reports of her death are premature, as far as I know in Feb. 2016 she is still in Liverpool as seen here http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1965258 perhaps "on her last legs" (?) would be more accurate.

"Butterfahrt": More than a "Tollfree Booze Cruise" - from 1953-1999 commonly known as a shopping trip mainly for "silverbacks" on a smaller passenger ship or ferry, leading out on location at sea customs border of Germany mostly between northern West-Germany and Denmark. Finished by the EU-Regulationbureaucracy. Regards Peter

What a nice baby! Saw her very often in Kappeln-Schlei/Germany, when she was owned by Fördereederei Flensburg.

Thanx for posting this beauty!
